NBA JAM

Legends and former standouts were once found in basketball video games as unlockables via cheat code or as worthwhile free agents worth considering in Dynasty Mode. In today's gaming landscape they have become a key part of Ultimate Team modes for numerous EA SPORTS games and are the rarest of the rare; the most prized possession possible in NBA Live Ultimate Team.

Taking a look back at previous EA SPORTS basketball titles (NBA JAM and NBA JAM: On Fire Edition) shows that the company added many legends for NBA Live 14, but also that there were numerous that were not retained. Players may be dropped or not renewed for various reasons: cost, exclusivity with competitor NBA 2K (Ex: Michael Jordan), perceived lack of value for the player, et al. However with NBA Live 15 & NBA Live 16, many legends returned - along with some new ones. (Keep in mind that the NBA Live 16 legends will continue to be added & revealed throughout the year; 94 is not the final count.)

Those tweets mentioned Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Damian Lillard, as well as the NBA, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Los Angeles Clippers, and Bleacher Report. (It is worth noting that that Griffin, Durant, and James are all former/current NBA 2K cover athletes.)
